I bought this barrel some time ago last summer off of ebay. It was advertised as a 2001 Tear Drop barrel and that was the reason why it didn't have the name down near the threading as is on a new version Tear Drop.

Yeah, looks like a teardrop, just wanted to make sure because if I ever go to get rid of it, I don't want to be accused of trying to rip someone off. The only reason I've ever been suspect of it is because there isn't that thick part near the threads where they usually slap the Tear Drop logo.
